thus appears from Mr.. Castleman's !,
statement that majority found it nee
essary to adopt these revolutionary
movements in order to prevent the
minority from out voting them :!
The resolutions adopted by the King
caucus in the recess show that they
assumed the position that no parish or
delegate had the right to assail the rep
resentalion OF any other parish. The
protest presented by the parish of
Morehouse, and which Mr.. Castleman
denounced ia his resolutions as being
unworthy the consideration Of DEM
ocratic convention, recited the charge
which had been made by supporters of
Gen. King prior to the assembling of
the cor vention that the vote claimed
for the parish of Tensas was fictitious
and demanded that the question be in
vest;gated and the representation re.
duced to the proper basis. On this
point Mr.. Castleman says that " there
was but one way to nominate Boatner
and beat King, and that was to revise
the apportionment made by the COM
mittee and establish a precedent that
never before existed in Democratic
body, and in that way defeat the ma
jority." Mr.. Castleman is deficient 10
knowledge of the history OF his party
and parish. 10 the attack on the enor-
mously fictitious vote of Tensas the
Morehouse delegation had for prece-
dent the action of the Democratic con-
vention of 1876 which reduced the rep
resentation of Tensas from p to2!
The Official report Of the proceedings
show that the convention from which
Col. Boatner received his nomination
was regular from the commencement
to the end and that the other organi-
cation was effected during a recess and
was never recognized by the chairman
of the Executive Com mittee or by the
chairman selected by him on calling
the convention to order.

A Caddo patriot had dream anu
submitted it to the Shreveport Journal
in the shape of IL ''comprornise tieket'
as follows:
"For Governor, s. d. McEnery /;
Lieut. Governor, T. Il. Nichols; u.
s. Senate, j. b. Eustis, N. G. Blan-
chard (; Congress, j. G. Moncure.
A house divided against itself must
fall, unless tho division is timely
healed.
The above ticket Will heal the divis-
ion and save the Democratic house
from falling into tho hands of the
negroes and Republicans of Louisiana.
The ticket will be of course distaste-
full to many aspirants for Office, and to
many embittered partisans, but It is a
good ticket and would harmonic and
consolidate the Democratic party and
save tho State and her people from the
possibility of the government passing
away from pure Democratic admins
tratiOp, which is to our people, the
greatest of all political blessings.

= A German chemist has invented new
KIND of anesthetic bullet. which no urges
will, if brought into general u.e, diminish
tho horrors of war. Tho bullet is o. a brit
tie substance, breaking directly when 1t
comes in contact with the object at which
it:is aimed. It contains a powerful anesthe-
tic, producing instantaneously complete
insensibility, lasting for twelve hours,
which, except that the action of the heart
continues, is not to be distinguished from
death. While in this condition, tho Ger
man chemist points out, tho bodies may be
packed in wagons and carried off as pris-
nors.-N. o. City ITEM.
The anesthetic bullet will not become
popular in Europe for the reason, that
in case of war, it will not have the de-
sired effect Of thinning out the inhabi-
tants Of that over-popuious country.

Mr.. w. p. Mangham, editor Of the
Richland Beacon, says that Col. Boat
ner's version of the King Boatner con-
test is correct and adds: "The writer
was present and heard Col. Boatner's
speech at Alto. He said If any of his
hearers believed that he was not the
regular nominee and that Gen. King
was, it was their duty to vote for Gen.
King, He never claimed to run as an
Independent but the regular party
nominee, while Gen. King claimed to
be the nominee of the majority"

Says the Feliciana Patriot Democrat ::
Our esteemed contemporary, the Ouachita
Telegraph, is unduly exercised over the
apprehension that the nomination and
election of Gen. Nichols would mean the
mere supremacy ola faction in the State
Government. 1t is incontroyertably true
that the present State administration is
obnoxious to tho great mass of the people
on account of its manifest proclivity to-
ward a personal rule; toward the contra
lization of the official power in the hands
OF those who are recognized tho perSo-
nal followers of one man. 1t is our firm
conviction that tho candidature of Gen.
Nichols illustrates the popular dissatisfac-
ton with and revolt against this very
thing, of official favo ritism, otherwise des-
ignated as ''ring rule" There is nothing
in the history of General Nichols, former
administration of tho State Government,
or in the well known character of tho man
but that serves as refutation of tho charge
that he would be the Governor, or in any
way the representative of a faction.
The apprehensious of the Telegraph
are well-founded. Gen. Nichols is the
accepted leader Of a faction; so is Gov
McEnery. Either of them, if nomi.
mated and elected Governor, would
mean the supremacy of faction. For
the Patriot. Democrat TO assume all the
political virtues for its candidate and
faction and charge its advcrsaries with
all political vices is hu. 9 blind, parti-
san following of faction and its tri,
umph means factional and "ring rule"
Is the Patriot Democrat so unsophisti-
Gated as TO believe that Gen. Nichols,
If Governor, would appoint others than
his friends to Office? Is it 50 unsophis-
ticated as 10 believe that Gen. Nich-
oils, If Governor, would not reward
Boss Fitzpatrick, ct. ais?

THE TEST OF DEMOCRACY.

1t cannot be denied that in partisan
sense the only test of Democracy is the
support OF party nominations and party
measures. In higher sense, a Demo.
crat on principle il one who stands by
the doctrines, policy and principles
enunciated in the National Platform
adopted aud promulgated by the Gen.
eral Assembly of the Party. Surely
these tests of party fealty arc self'evio
dent. A man who supports Democratic
nominees is practical Democrat, no
matter what he believes. A man who
advocates and lives up to the Demo,
cratic platform is a Dem ocrat in prin-
ciples, no matter how he votes.
According to these tests, no we'll
informed person can deny that genuine
Democrats are to be found widely diff
fering on many Of the leading questions
OF the day. Democrats are divided on
the silver question, on the banking
question, on the tariff question, the
educational aid question, and other
vital questions of national politics and
craftsmanship. These differences have
existed since the formation of the party
whose distinguishing tenets are the
rule of the people and obedience to the
Constitution. Hence, it is emphaticalIy
and par excellence the'party Of the Peo-
pie and Of the Constitution.
,,t IN >hop Of
the press have assumed to establish
another test Of Democracy. They say
that Democrats may differ toto cTlo
on all other questions but the tariff.
Heaven save the mark! The tariff is
tho very question on which Democrats
have been divided from the foundation
of the party all along through its va
rious combinations and transmutations
and evolutions, down to the Chicago
Convention Of 1884, where high tariff
men and low tariff men sat side by
side on the platform. But without re-
gard to, nay, in defiance of what that
Convention said and did, these soi>
distant and self.constituted political Or
acles propose to declare that whoever
differs with them on the tariff question
is not Democrat aud shall not affiliate
with that party. In the extremity of
their passionate folly, they even wish
to read the Hon'I Sam Randall out of
the party. Randall never boiled a
Democratic nomination. He has al
ways stood >quare!y on the platforms
of the party. He has always fought
for aud illustrated the cardinal rrinci-
pies of the party. Reform and econ-
omy in the administration have been
his watchwords and, like giant, he
has pressed back the fierce cohorts of
Capitalization. Do you not remember
how he stood upon the floor OF the
House of Representatives, day after
day and night after night, and hams
mered the infamous Force Bill to death"
Has the South forgotten that picture?
Has she forgotten that in every con-
tested election from the South, Sam
Randall barred his bosom 10 all the on |
sets of the bloody shirt brigade? Yet
we are told that he is a Republican in |
disguise and not worthy to be called
Democrat because he does not favor
horizontal reduction OF the tariff. Ayei

WINFIELD RECEIVES
A Railroad Proposition From The Pine
Bluff, Monroe And Alexandra
Railroad.

The following letter has been received
by Mr.. r. z. Milling, which fully ex-
plains itself:
"CALHoUN, March 9th, 1887.
r. T.. Milling Esq, Winfield, La.
Dear Sir:-There is company in
Little Rock, Ark, organized for the
purpose of building r. r., from
Pine Bluff via Monroe, to Alexandria.
Their charter was filed Feb. 22d, 1887.
One OF tho Co. was IN Monroe last
week, trying to get the five mill tax
recently voted for tho North and South
r. r., donated 10 them. This could
not be legally done, but Monroe pro-
missed 10 give them the right of way
through the city, lot for depot
grounds and to vote a five mill tax and
release them from taxation for ten
years.
| Now, if your people will lay hold
with an "iron grip" and get the right
Of way donated to this company from
Winfield to Alexandra and north of
Winfield as far as you can, and vote
the five mill tax, provided they run
direct to Winfield, believe you can
succeed. We can assure you that we
| VIII w All VIZ SNu w law wv AOs\Ss w
run on a direct line from Monroe to
Winfield. This company expects to
send out an engineering corps in few
days and expect to build the road to
| Monroe al once so as to get ahead of
the North and South II. II.
Please write me at once aud let me
know the section, Ownship and range
that Alexandria is::in, also your town.
wish to get up q map from Monroe
via Winfield to Alexandria. The
Co., intends to finally extend this road
10 Houston, Texas. Hoping to hear
from you sooD, I am, very respectfully
| yours,
| G. II. HINES, NJ. ID.
Iu reply to the above proposition,
MIR. Milling informed DIR. Hines, (and
we think stated the exact status of our
posiiion) that all of the people of this
parish were anxious for road, but
those that were willing to vote the
five mill tax were hopelessly in the
min ority, and thought that they would
receive land donations from the large
land owners in this parish, who were
anxious TO see this country developed.
He also stated to DE-. Hines that this
road would run through finely tim
bered and mineral country, especially
through this parish. We fear that the
above answer will not be favorable
enough, but owing TO past experiences
about "A five mill tax for the building
OF u r. r., no other encouragement
could be given them.
| At any rate, as soou as a decision is
rendered by the II. r., men, we will
10 form our readers.-.Sentn,el.
